Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Implement Kruskal's algorithm on a graph with 5 vertices (1 to 5) and the following edges and weights: (1,2,1), (1,3,3), (2,3,2), (2,4,4), (3,5,6). What is the minimum spanning tree?

💡 Hint: Follow the steps of edge selection carefully.

Question 2

Analyze the impact of using an efficient union-find structure versus a basic merging approach in terms of Kruskal’s algorithm performance on a densely connected graph.

💡 Hint: Consider how often you need to check for cycles.
